Absolutely Stunning Work--So light and airy!  myriad voices is so comforting

Hey Jo man, love how the groove appears in this like magic. This is a great, moving song, man. Way to go with it. Kind greetings!

Love the poem and the music and atmosphere you’ve laid down really work well. 🔥👍👌

adieu adieu

(em) back to balance 
a gate in the (c) day

(em) Ten of Swords
at the end of a (c) play

(g) (the) purpose of the (c) cross
(g) (the) pain of our (c) Lord

(g) I don’t know what I’m (c) doing 
or not (bm) doing, of (am7) course

(f) how to get back – (g) back to where? back to where?
(f) how to get back – (g) back to where

thy (c) plaintive (g) anthem (f) fades
(c) adieu (g) adieu (f) adieu
in (c) those next (g) valley (f) glades 
and (c) you and (g) you and (f) you

love to drift
through the clouds

far above
the worlds below

(the) blood of the lamb
(the) promise of the seed 

I don’t know what I’m thinking 
or not thinking, indeed

how to get back – back to where? back to where?
how to get back – back to where

thy plaintive anthem fades
adieu adieu adieu
in those next valley-glades 
and you and you and you

clock the seconds 
afore they go

reconnect 
to the flow

tender is the night 
on a winding mossy way

in love with easeful death 
yet still wanting to stay
how to get back – back to where? back to where?
how to get back – back to where

thy plaintive anthem fades
adieu adieu adieu
in those next valley glades 
and you and you and you

split the heart
of the tree

divided self 
one, two, three

(the) nightingale’s repose 
her last song on the air 

I don’t know why I’m sensing 
but not seeing the rose 

how to get back – back to where? back to where?
how to get back – back to where

thy plaintive anthem fades
adieu adieu adieu
in those next valley glades 
and you and you and you (et vous et vous et vous)

(fade out on adieu adieu adieu x 3)

NB
(uses some lines and variation of lines from Keats's Ode to a Nightingale: 'thy plaintive anthem fades'/ 'adieu adieu'/ 'next valley glades' / 'tender is the night' / 'winding mossy way' / 'in love with easeful death')

Anamorphosis

Heliacal Enigma

I made this after gazing in awe at the unbelievably stunning image the James Webb space telescope captured of the SMACS 0723 galaxy cluster—the deepest & farthest into the past humanity has ever seen. It feels unreal that we can reach back into a moment 4.6 billion years ago—when Earth was just a glint in the Milkyway’s eye—and receive its light, here, in our present day. There was something so mystifyingly interwoven and transcendent about that very thought, & that’s what I hope to convey with this piece.

4.6 Billion Years Ago…

Finished with my woman …

Beat me with a big stick 
Trying all your usual tricks 
That ain’t gonna cut it no no 
That ain’t gonna cut it no more
Frozen in your headlights 
Helpless in your dead lights 
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love
Blow me up with a bomb bomb bomb
Shoulder for my tears 
Get to know me inside out
Then attack me with my fears

Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love 

So I went down to the river
The witch told me the cure
I must spit when I say your name
Throw your picture into the flames 
Cross myself 1 2 3 times
Salt the earth where you stood beside me 
Then I cut - cut you out 
Once upon a time I was cursed by love

You thought you could fool me
Thought you controlled me
Thought you could take me 
Thought you could keep me
Underestimated me
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love 
Now it’s you in my head lights 
And it’s you in my dead lights 
Finished with my woman 
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love

Funk meets the Middle Ages

method: dr 01s; voice; vst (bells'n'chimes); the cover image shows part of the 'ultimate distortion engine' consisting of one exciter module, one piezo pickup (pledging for mono today) and one slate plate (it could be any other more or less sonically transducive material, though, including shaped materials like springs, material with other material spread out on top, etc .... which renders this engine ultimately versatile, incl all the processes feasable during amplification, eqing and gainstaging); white tape pedal;  vst (balalaika): more voices and then some; several eqing instruments (including CS-5 compressor pedal)
narration: 'we' did start the fire, by the way, and keep rekindling it

poem / copyright jo richter:

[hey you - can you smell it as well - must've been here just a moment ago]

nunamnir was here who tied the first knot
enkidu was here before he was tamed
vaidehi was here who was and was not
sharada was here who names and is named

heraclitus was here, a delian diver's lot
helen was here, booty to be blamed
archimedes was here, circles mark the spot
turanna was here ruling unashamed

heimdallr was here, threshold polyglot
boudica was here, rapists will be maimed
the morrigan was here, kin to thrive, foes to rot
mimir was here, as well he claimed 

il duce was here, traitors will be shot
de beauvoir was here, l'autre appears ingrained
ray kurzweil was here, future is a reboot robot
three sisters were here, looked on and remained

was here

POETRY IS VITAL

This threshold space exists for those who feel like listening to some of my quite professional poetry embedded in rather amateurishly recorded but judiciously arranged sound, a modicum of purely acoustic work notwithstanding.  Fortunately, some other artists have also transformed the symbolic expression of my words into the tangible beauty of real songs and soundscapes - just listen to Sympoetic Ultrasounds: https://soundcloud.com/sonic-textures/sets/sympoetic-ultrasounds !

SOUND, SPACE AND TIME

Tend your listening senses gently. Even though my general approach welcomes and embraces lo-fi concepts like the precision of spontaneously occuring imprecisions, headphones worth their membranes are recommended - unless you like your sounds flat, mangled, battered and helpless. You don't, do you? Be kind to these soundscapes.

STRUCTURING IMPULSE

Due to the nature of "poetry soundscapes", your listening expectations regarding traditionally structured "songs", sonically purified "raw wildlife soundscapes", keyboard-laden "ambient recordings" or voice-centered "readings" might not be met. You will find some of those in my list of /likes/. "Noise" is a recurring structural element like any other. This is what this sounds like - within its own rights, limitations, tangents and interconnections. Sonic structures. Silent stretches. Poetry emerges from the gaps between the ruts, seeps in from the undergrowth, sweeps down.

CARVING, CHISELLING, KNEADING, MORPHING

A quick glance into my toolshed rests on Zoom recorders, Samplitude software and a dizzying array of diverse sonic machinery.

LARGE AND SMALL GIFTS

-----------------------------
Small Gifts

the less to remember, the more to listen
gifts from the ice age reverberate
a simple story, a forest, a coastline
entangled in silence, one starts to relate
---------------------------------------------

In case you have read up to this point, you might be a sonic creator yourself. May I ask you for a helping ear? Above, there is a tiny poem of mine that I do not understand how to translate into sound. If you do - please act on it. It is a matter of common decency, of course, to keep the title (Small Gifts) and to credit the lyrics to me (jo richter). And please do notify me of your version via a soundcloud message. One bewilderingly beautiful version crafted by mono-lux has already gone public, as well as an amazing version by cthonicist.  You'll find both in my playlist Sympoetic Ultrasounds. This is just a small gift, not a challenge - life already has more than enough of those on offer, doesn't it? Treat it this way.

POETRY IS VITAL
sound, space and time
structuring impulse
carving, chiselling, kneading, morphing
large and small gifts
poetry is vital

GENERAL POLICY regarding the use of LIKES, REPOSTS and FOLLOWS:
I like what I like and want to hear again.
I only repost what I've had a hand in creating.
I follow when I see directions or arrivals I like, not when followed (though I might peek in to get an idea of what your sounds are about). I have set myself a limit of accounts I follow not to be all too overwhelmed. Not following does therefore not mean I do not appreciate what you contribute to the enjoyments of soundcloud.
Do not expect other behaviour from me.
(jo richter)
